Visiting Boston, MA

Today october 7th, Bruce took us to the firedepartement of Northborough. The firetrucks are so big and long in the U.S, way bigger than in Switzerland.
However the equippment is pretty much the same.
Firedepartments in America include the ambulace, they all are under the same "organisation". It's much more likely to cross a fire car in the streets than an ambulance.
We even got a ride in the longes ladder they have (114 feet).
In the afternoon we spent the day in the museum of science.
Sally cooked delicious dinner and a delicious american dessert: apple pie of course!!
The following day (oct 8 2010) we drove to the city again. We toured the city a bit and then drove home to Bruce's again for another delicious dinner. In the mornings we spent with them we got the chance to have typical american breakfast with bacon and eggs! They even had crusty bread for us! I think Sally didn't put it in a plastic bag (what americans usually do with bread) just for us, as europeans like crusty bread!!
On october 9th we took the plane to Dallas, where we changed plane to finally reach San Diego, our destionation.
